Hi,

I am new to ElasticSearch and need some basic information:

Does ES support the following Data Sources?

- Lotus Notes Database
- File Servers
- web-based documents (intranet)
- DokuWiki

Thanks in advance.

Will,

Not quite out of the box, no, but it's all doable. Have a look at  
ManifoldCF project at Apache as your first stop. Oh, wait, I  
know, [http://www.scrutmydocs.org/](http://www.scrutmydocs.org/) -- David the author must be sleeping in  
.fr now.

Interestingly, our [http://search-lucene.com](http://search-lucene.com) service kind of has support for  
some of that stuff - Wiki, Web sites, FS indexing... but it's just a  
service.

Lol! I'm not sleeping yet althought it's late here 😉  
Yes, at the present time, scrutmydocs project only index documents from the hard drive and give an interface on top of that with some REST endpoints.

So many other ideas but not enough time right now to code it!

That said, a web crawler is something perhaps difficult to integrate. It's probably a better option to have it outside Elasticsearch scope. For the notes database, if you have somewhere a JDBC driver, you can use the JDBC river.  
For files, use the FS river. It's the one I use in scrutmydocs.  
For DocuWiki, I'm not aware of a plugin for it. Perhaps, you can build your own and share it with the community?

Time to sleep! Bye! 😉

(Personnal message: Happy new year Otis!)

Alright, I will have a look at the rivers.

Thanks for your replies : )
